You’re right. The MSM is too in love to notice.

I’ve read he flunked his physical because of asthma, which is different than being deferred. Did he volunteer or was drafted, or does he claim to?

How can you be rejected from military service but then told he could be activated in a national emergency?

Anyone explain this?

Obama served on a 3 hour tour of duty a few months back.

The White House is not a boot camp for a Commander in Chief.

Shouldn't Republicans make a big deal of this?

Why? Had Giuliani or Romney or Huckabee or Thompson won the nomination then would they have been required to choose a vet to add legitimacy? Palin, Jindal, Steele, all the other names being bandied about are all people without military service. Should we shirk from nominating them in the future for that reason? People who live in glass houses should be wary of throwing stones.

I didn’t even consider this factor.

At least Hillary has dodged sniper fire in Bosnia!

Nope. Because it will come back to bite us.

With the Vietnam generation being the "grown ups" and with the onset of the "volunteer military" service will be seen as admirable, but not a requirement.

Let’s hope they count the absentee ballots from our military personnel this time around.

Why wouldn’t FDR’s term as ASN count as Military experience?

I'd also venture to say it has to be the shortest amount of experience for any ticket in history in the private sector:

In 1969, Biden began practicing law in Wilmington, Delaware, and was soon elected to the New Castle County, County Council, where he served from 1970 to 1972.

Biden was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1972, so it makes a grand total of three years experience in the private sector practicing law, and only one of those three years not holding an elective office.

Of course, compared to Obama, even this shallow experience looks absolutely stellar!

And anyone thought the Dems respect our military for what reason again?

Commies don't like organized Religion or any other organizations not run by the government, commies don't like Business organizations, commies don't like free thinking individuals, commies don't like the constitution giving equal rights to all human life, commies don't like "classes" other than the arrogant elite class vs the sheep, commies don't like our guns because they keep us from being ruled.

In short....Commies don't like Free people and our military keeps us free.

No.

The rats will point out that the last time it happened, their St. Franklin, the communist, Roosevelt was the president along with Henry, the communist, Wallace.

They'll say WWII turned out OK.

We don't want to listen to that demagoguery.
